Handy GCF of Decimals Calculator to know the GCF of decimals 4.5, 6, 12 i.e. 1.5 the largest integer that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
Greatest common factor (GCF) of 4.5, 6, 12 is 1.5.
GCF(4.5, 6, 12) = 1.5
Enter two or more decimals separated by "commas"
Ex: 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4, 0.5, 0.6
Given numbers are 4.5,6,12. The highest number of digits after the decimal point in the given case is 1
Thus, in order to get rid of the decimal point we need to multiply them with 10. On doing so, they are as follows
4.5 x 10 = 45
6 x 10 = 60
12 x 10 = 120
On finding the GCF of 45,60,120 we get the Greatest Common Factor as 15
3 | 45, 60, 120 |
5 | 15, 20, 40 |
3, 4, 8 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 5 = 15
Divide the GCF by 10 as we multiplied by it to make the given numbers as integers in the initial step.
By dividing the GCF we get = 15/10 = 1.5
Therefore the Greatest Common Factor of 4.5,6,12 is 1.5

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 45,60,120 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 45,60,120 is 15.
Here are some samples of GCF of Decimals calculations.
1. What is the GCF of 4.5, 6, 12?
Answer: GCF of 4.5, 6, 12 is 1.5.
2. How to Find the GCF of 4.5, 6, 12?
Answer: Greatest Common Factor(GCF) of 4.5, 6, 12 = 1.5
Step 1: First calculate the highest decimal number after decimal point.
Step 2: Then multiply all numbers with 10.
Step 3: Then find GCF of 45,60,120. After getting GCF devide the result with 10 the value that is previously multiplied.
So GCF(4.5, 6, 12) = 1.5.
